Well, actually, if you look at draft text of #TPP they already decided to kill net neutrality so the Oligarchy can make the 0.01% that owns 50% of the US richer

Sounds like time for Anonymous to toss out some DDS's on a few choice companies *cough!comcastatttimewarnercough!*

Having Internet access is an "information utility", just like electricity, gas, or water utilities. It's a 'public good' and should be treated as such.

But no, we live in Oligarchy America where everything goes to the highest bidder and to benefit the corporate overlords.

@2 With all due respect, DDoS attacks are rather limited in effect. They are basically taking someone's poster off the wall for a short time. The attack can't last long enough to do more than be an annoyance and maybe some excitement in their IT department. It's not comparable to smashing windows or corrupting their databases. You know, something that would cause them real economic pain. The only thing thing they will respond to.

The problem with anonymous' attacks are they end up never hurting the corporate overlords they are intended to harm and instead piss off the real people who work and have to use the website that has been hacked into.

They are going into a gun fight with a dull butter knife thinking they can change the world.

Quit whining. Oh, and my shoes aren't going to shine themselves you pussy bitches.

Sprint's Saw: Spark to hit 120 Mbps peaks at end of 2014, 180 Mbps peaks at end of 2015

With that much bandwidth and unlimited data, it's hard to imagine that anything will get blocked if it's just a web page.

SDN (software defined networking) would allow us to define a 10Mpbs channel in the backbone that is still net neutral once we get these higher home speeds.

Face it, you threw in the towel on "net neutrality" when you decided to binge-watch "House of Cards" on Netflix, and then bitched about interruptions to the feed.

The web has become as much a utility as electricity, water or any other. And Seattle had demonstrated for over a century that publicly owned utilities provide some the the best service available at the best cost by any standard (not perfect but still exceptionally based on any industry wide scale I know of). City Light seems the most logical city owned utility to become Seattle's internet services provider.

Lets do it.

Please wait...
